Okay kiddo, imagine you're feeling really sad or scared. It's okay to feel like that, everyone feels that way sometimes. But sometimes when we feel like that, it's helpful to have a friend to talk to or cuddle with, right?
Well, therapy dogs are special dogs who are trained to be those friends for people who need them. They go with their owners to places like hospitals, schools, or nursing homes to visit people and make them feel better.
Therapy dogs are really smart and know how to be calm and gentle. They can sense when someone needs a hug or a nuzzle, and they're really good at comforting people. When they visit people, they wag their tails and let people pet them, which can make people feel happy and peaceful.
Therapy dogs are really important because they help people who are feeling sad, scared, or lonely feel a lot better. They're like furry little counselors who always make you feel better with their love and cuddles.
